Answer:
Answer: Janet is 16, and David is 11.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the ages be j and d.
j = d + 5
j + d = 27
Substitute d + 5 for j in the second equation.
d + 5 + d = 27
2d + 5 = 27
2d = 22
d = 11
Substitute 11 for d in the first equation.
j = d + 5
j = 11 + 5
j = 16
Answer: Janet is 16, and David is 11.
Solution:
<u>Note that:</u>
- Given angles: w + 8° and 48°
- w + 8 + 48 = 180
<u>Solve for w in the equation "w + 8 + 48 = 180".</u>
- => w + 8 + 48 = 180
- => 56 + w = 180
- => w = 180 - 56
- => w = 124°
The value of w is 124.
I would use subsitution
y=x-7
sub x-7 for every x
5x+2(x-7)=14
5x+2x-14=14
add 14 to both sides
7x=28
divide both sides by 7
x=4
sub
y=x-7
y=4-7
y=-3
x=4
y=-3
(4,-3)
